p.875b, dwelling number 990, family number 1071
Lea  R. H.     65  m w  M.E.S. clergyman  $2000/$2700  NC
     Susan F.  33  f w                                 VA

Rev. Robert H. Lea was the father of Catherine Lea of Anderson County, Tennessee who married John Wesley Peters.  John was the son of my fourth great grandparents Thomas Peters and Sarah (Sallie) England.  As such, John was the brother of my third great grandmother Zipporah Peters and John was also the brother of my third great grandmother Jane Peters.

Susan F. Woods was Robert's second wife.  I am persuaded that Susan's age is transcribed correctly, but I am also persuaded that her age was originally enumerated incorrectly.  I believe that Susan was 53 years old in 1860.  Robert's first wife (and Catherine's mother) was named Jane.
